A naughty cat, a mysterious parrot, and a boy who disappeared ten years ago.

The last time Jovie saw Levi Haddix, she was sixteen, hopelessly in love with him, and waking up to discover he was gone.

Ten years later, Levi turns up with a parrot he “found” that speaks Japanese.

Jovie has problems of her own. Namely, a precocious rescue cat who has just gotten her evicted—and sent her straight back to Levi's childhood home.

She can survive two weeks under the same roof with him. Probably.

Except Levi still knows exactly how she takes her coffee. He still finds the things she loses. He still looks out for her like he never stopped. And somewhere between midnight swims, disastrous attempts at dating other people, and accidentally co-parenting a mismatched trio of rescue pets, their carefully maintained distance starts looking a whole lot like the life they might have had.

There’s just one problem.

Levi is leaving again.

And this time, Jovie has two weeks to decide whether letting him back in is worth waking up without him all over again.

A slow-burn, closed-door second-chance romance filled with hilarious family, mischievous pets, and first-love nostalgia. Perfect for readers who love quirky heroines and protective heroes who fall first.
